20 February 2007: Basketballs are brought on to the court before the start of the game between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Washington Wizards at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C. The Wizards defeated the Timberwolves 112-100.

Connor Williams probably didn’t expect to be a household name.

After all, he’s just a center rom DIII St. John Fisher – which, of course, doesn’t get you much publicity on a daily basis. But after videos started circulating of the 7-foot, 360-pound kid balling out on his opponents, people have fallen in love.

Despite his size, Connor Williams has an uncanny ability to pass and shoot – forcing other teams to keep track of where he is on the floor at all times.

Check out some of his highlights:

Rochester First wrote a profile on Connor Williams – who’s earning his degree in cybersecurity while enjoying dishing it out to his teammates at any given opportunity.

“I was younger, even up until now, I never liked playing with people who wouldn’t pass the ball,” he said. “It’s always frustrating, whether you’re the best player or the worst player, whatever — when you ballhog, it’s really frustrating to the rest of the team.

“Passing the ball, especially for me, since I get double teamed or triple teamed … If there’s two or three people on me, someone’s open and can get a good shot,” he said. “Scoring is great, but I want my team to be successful, so I think that’s more important to me.”

Just to make Connor Williams even more lovable, he’s using his newfound fame as a platform to raise money for charity. He recently took to Instagram to sell t-shirts as well as some other merch. And the proceeds will go towards helping families and athletes in need.

Lets all help Connor Williams out and but a ‘big cozy’ shirt for a great cause!

The kid is a National treasure.
